accepted the situation as instructors.
During the eighty years that have
elapsed since the establishment of the
Seminary old creeds have undergone
radical changes. and some of the harsh
er Calvinistic features are no longer
now, if ever, preached in orthodox
pulpits. The Andover professors have
relaxed their adherence to the old
creed, and have accepted modernized
views. 1t is confidently believed
that the original founders of the Sem
mary, had they lived half century
later. would have modified their doc
trinal beliefs, in accordance with
churches at later period. There is
nothing to show that any one now liv.
ing has authority to change the creed
prescribed by those who originally gave
their money conditionally that the
creed should always be taught. How
the Supreme Court will dispose of this
question, if the court find it a matter
in which it has jurisdiction, no one ap-
pears to have fixed opinion. If the
Court decides the Seminary cannot
deviate from its creed, then it must go
eighty years more Gf the institution
last so long, holding doctrines, some
of which have long since had no fol-
lowers. There are other questions re-
lating to the Seminary which may
come before the Supreme Court.

FOURTH OF JULY OBSERV-
ANCES.

1t is gratifying to notice that the
commemoration of National indie.
pendence day was more generally OBJ
served throughout the country this
year than during several years past.
This looks like revival of patriotism,
which it was feared was beginning to
languish. 1t is hopeful sign of the
times when the people assemble once a
year to hear recounted the story of the
trials of our forefathers in achieving
for US the blessings of freedom, for
which our country is distinguished
among the nations of the world. But
there is attached to the annual cele.
bration of the Fourth of July excres-
cences that should be removed. The
unnecessary sacrifice of life and losses
of property should be avoided; they
are not christian, but heather. Before
going to press last week some of the
city papers had column of severe and
painful accidents growing out of the
unnecessary use of hurtful agencies
Since last week the papers have greatly
swelled the list of bad happenings to
various kinds of people, mostly to boys,
If all the manned, crippled and dis
figured for life-men and boys-could
be collected on great open space, who
were brought to their present condi.
ton by the Fourth of July catastrophes,
it would be sad and pitiful sight to
see. Yet the producing cause for all
this human suffering is not only per-
mitted. but really encouraged. And
for what? Simply to crafty passion
for making racket with dangerous
explosive agencies. But does it pay
Does the cause of our national freedom
demand such sacrifice every Fourth
of July to save the Republic from dis
after? There have been and still are
nations or tribes who believe human
sacrifices are necessary to appease the
wrath or conciliate the favor of their
gods. But in this heaven-favored
country there is no necessity in time of
peace for any human being to peril his
life to save the country.

NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF
CHARITIES.

The fourteenth National Conference
of Charities will be held at Omaha,
Nebraska, commencing Thursday, Aug.
%, 1887, and remain in session until
Aug. 30. The notice as originally pub
lished, announcing the conference to
assemble Sept. LIST, has been changed to
Aug. Is. The conference was held at
ST. Paul, Mimi, last year, and was at
tended by over $50 delegates from 81
states. Liberal arrangements have
been made at Omaha to accommodate
those who attend at greatly reduced
rates of fare at hotels and boarding
houses. All members of boards of
charities and of benevolent. penal
and reformatory institutions through
out the country will be regarded
members of the conference. All
private citizens interested in the work
of the conference are invited to attend
and will be cordially welcomed. This
is an undenominationa institution, and
appeals to all who favor lettering the
condition of humanity for their friend
ly services.

LAWYERS.

Lawyers have long been accustomed
to criticism, and possibly may for some
time yet to come. There are needed
reforms in the law practice, and the
better kind of people will not be salts
fed until they are secured. One of
these reprehensible practices is for the
lawyer to undertake for fee to clear
a criminal from punishment who he
and the community know to be guilty.
But the expert criminal lawyer secures
the escape of such offenders, not be-
cause the evidence for conviction was
not abundant, but through some dis
covered technical defect in the pro.
ceedings the guilty party is allowed to
escape. The abuses which call for cor
rection we take from the Milwaukee
Sentinel:
The privileges and immunities enjoy
ed by lawyers constitute a mystery
that puzzles the mind of the average
layman. An exchange which has been
considering the subject observes that
by some curious process of favoritism
the ordinary rules of responsibility
and propriety seem to be suspended in
favor of the members of the legal pro-
fession. They are allowed to bully
and insult witnesses where no good
end is served by such conduct. They
can SANDER litigant in open court,
and he has no redress. They are the
privileged lobbyists of the time. If an
editor, clergyman, physician, a mer-
chant or farmer accepts money to
act in helping pass or defeat schemes
of legislation, the people hold that he
has taken bride and distrust him ac-
cordingly. The lawyer, however. may
do the same thing without suffering
any disgrace. He may 60 into legis-
lature or city council and do all in
his power to embarraSs the course of
public business in order to favor some
personal interest of a client, and he es-
capes censure under the plea that he is
rendering professional services. The
courts will not even request him to ap-
pOnA dS q WituCoS anu GciI WudG Ho
knows of the corrupt appliance used
by himself and others. The sacred
shield of professional confidence is
thrown over his transactions. 1t is
possible that this sort of immunity, by
which so many crooked transactions
are kept from the light, is one of those
good old Anglo-Saxon humbugs, inher-
tied from our ancestors, which will
have to go" one of these days.

NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CON-
VENTION.

This convention, the first session of
which commenced in Chicago OH Tues
day evening. was probably the largest
of the kind ever convened in this
country. Chicago did nobly in pro-
viding accommodations for the great
army of teachers, male and female.
The terms of all the hotels, and the
number they each could accommodate,
was ascertained, and it was found the
total number that could be provided for
was fully 10000, and probably double
chat number could be entertained in
public and private boarding houses.
1t is estimated that $1,000 persons
were crowded into the great exposition
building on the first night of the ses-
sion. A national political convention
creates far more noise and excitement
the country over, but really has less
influence in shaping the destinies of
the republic than this cultured gather
ing of educational mind.

GREAT STRIKE SETTLED.

The great strike which has for long
time retarded the work of builders in
Chicago has at last ended. 1t has been
brought to close just in the same
way it easily might have been months
ago, and immense loss saved the I'M
employed, as we'll as loss of contractors
and employers. The settlement has
been arrived at by arbitration, legiti-
mate way of adjusting all differences
of agreement between parties-a
method which has proven one of the
best ever since the organization of
civil government. If arbitration were
resorted to as generally as it should be,
it would reduce the business from one
half to two-thirds IN our courts, and
the results reached would give better
satisfaction to parties having differ

the courts and at less expense. The

whether for the reason they would in
terfere with the business of the legal
profession it is needless to say. But
for the constantly occurring labor
troubles, we need no more legislation
than is now on the statute books to
make arbitration available. We fully
endorse the sentiments expressed in
the following from the Chicago Jour-
nal:
"The principle of arbitration for the
adjustment of labor troubles and BUSH
ness disputes is the only really sensible
one yet devised. Much needless an
noyance and loss to the community as
well as to the parties Immediately con-
cerned can be avoided in this way, and
every friend of the public peace and
prosperity and every friend of labor
should favor the exhaustion of all the
possibilities of arbitration, before re-
sorting to expensive and often disas-
trous strikes or lockouts, which. as a
rule, is losing game to all concerned"

CITIZENS LEAGUE.

The meeting of the Citizens League
at the Court House last week, Thurs
day evening, was attended by a re-
spectacle number of citizens, who are
in earnest to sustain the movement
now so well begun. Several ladies
were at the meeting, to encourage by
their presence the progress of the
work. This is as it should be. No
class are more interested than the
women in the suppression of the il
legal liquor traffic. If the legal sale
cannot be arrested, every reasonable
person will admit the law regulating
the sale ought to be enforced. One

satisfactory, it will now, it is said, be
taken to the Supreme Court. This is a
singular question to be taken into

UTAH FOR A STATE.

There is but little doubt that plan
is projecting to secure the admission of
Utah as a state at the next session of
Congress. The scheme is to connect

ment with Dakota, which Territory,
with it's now 100000 inhabitants, was
entitled to admission a number of
years ago. 1t is stated the Democratic
administration will favor this proposal,
as it will offset Democratic state to
Republican Dakota. With an indie
pendent state government the people
of Utah hope to control their home

interference of the general govern
ment. 1t is useless to say what Utah
would do, or attempt to do, if invested
with self-government.

EXCESSIVE IMMIGRATION.

immigration to this country from
Europe has been SO largely on the in
crease for months past as to justly ex-
cite apprehension of dangerous conse-
quences. If Congress were in session
doubtless some methods would be pro-
posed and perhaps adopted for restrict
ing the present infowing tide. The
character of the immigrants landing on
our shores is different from that which
came dozen or less years ago; the
most of those who then arrived came
for the purpose Of making the United
States a permanent home, and with
the intention of identifying themselves
with the people of these states. More
recently the new corners from Europe
are apparently less anxious to become
American citizens, except to avail
themselves of the privilege to vote.
Next to food and clothing, the average
of the lower classes of foreigners re-
gard the right to vote DIS the most
valuable privilege. If the foreigner
has the right to vote, he is almost
sure of finding liberal friends ON cleo
ton days. Aside from the suffrage
privilege, thousands of the immigrants
now arriving do not care to affiliate
with the native born citizens here.
They retain a love for their native
country, for its methods of business,
its social, educational and other insti-
buttons, and where those of the same
nationality settle in the same neigh
borhood they naturally prefer to retain
their old home manners and customs !;
even schools for the children where it
is practicable. In the present move

for regulating immigration to this

very much as if foreign governments

Grafton which demands safeguards at
this time, more than ever, against the
incoming multitudes from beyond the
seas; it is that dangerous class known
as anarchists and socialists. These
troublesome plotters against the peace
and order of society are altogether a
foreign element; they had not their
origin in the United States. It will be
noticed that the anarchists who were
instrumental in the scenes of riot and
bloodshed in Chicago were chiefly for
eign born. The enemies of our Ameri-
can laws and institutions have become
power hard to subdue and control in
some of the large cities, especially in
Chicago. They have been growing
every year of late more defiant, and if
it were possible their recruits from the
old world should be cut of.
